Reminds me of the first time a friend of mine and his dad went to London. They were both more or less fluent, though his dad less so:

My friend's dad, trying to order an extra rare steak: "A bloody steak, please"

Waiter, without missing a beat: "Certainly, sir. Would you like some fucking potatoes with that?"

I mean it is kind of weird that “rare” is used to denote “barely cooked”, when it usually means “very scarce or hard to find”.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, as a non-native speaker, I've always considered that really weird too. Same with "well done", which is apparently worse than murder if you're enthusiastic about steaks 😄

Blue or Blue-Rare are the steps above rare afaik (at least in the US, not sure about England). Any restaurant that asks "what does that mean" isn't a restaurant I'd trust to serve me meat that is cool in the middle.

imagine being on twitter so much you even dream about getting annoyed by pedantic twitter users, this doesn't sound like a happy existence.

lol it’s a funny tweet. I don’t use twitter, but find joy in the cleverness and humor that people there spit out.

Would never use the app myself though. Screenshots on lemmy are as close to the rim of the volcano I’ll go.

... $100 says they're happier than you.

It's a joke that's been going around online, OOP made up this janky setup to sound original.

My first WTF moment with British English was walking into a restaurant & the hostess asked: “are you alright?”. “Do I have a bloody nose?” I quaked. Turns out it was just how folks say “what’s up?” as a hello there.

to which she responded, "Yes of course you have a nose, but why are you cursing about it?"

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

...so they remembered a Twitter post in their dream, and posted that as if it was their joke?

Strangely enough, it's the same user. Makes it even weirder in a way

How did a bloody nose win an F1 race?

You have to sacrifice a body part if you're not Max Verstappen (because his sacrifice was a visit to the gas station)

[-] Master@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

By being a twat, if my memory or no is is correct.
